“You know, the American people cherish their freedom of speech and a free and independent press. That’s why I found this morning’s headlines so troubling. Goaded on by a White House increasingly intolerant of criticism, lately the national media has taken aim at conservative commentators in radio and television. Suggesting that they only speak for a small group of activists and even suggesting in one report today that Republicans in Washington are ‘worried about their electoral effect.’

“Well, that’s hogwash.

“To suggest that men and women that are taking a stand for fiscal discipline and traditional values in the national debate today only speak for ‘grassroots activists’ is absurd. As evidenced by the hundreds of thousands that filled town hall meetings this summer and the nearly a million Americans who gathered here in Washington in September. Millions of Americans, Republicans, Democrats and Independents are worried about liberal social policies and runaway federal spending, deficit and debt.

“So to my friends in the so-called ‘mainstream media’ I say, ‘conservative talk show hosts may not speak for everybody but they speak for more Americans than you do.’”

Which lie?

Seriously...if Limbaugh/Hannity/etc had that much pull, wouldn't we be looking at President Romney?

Wish I knew how to make a link. I have some cartoons from Austraila which appear in their newspapers that show how they view American politics.

That'd be incredibly relevant to me if I were Australian.

You probablly would enjoy them. One is a soldier with a knife in his back that says congress on it. Another shows the White House sitting atop a mushroom cloud and Obama is resisting wire tapping and more spies.

I usually enjoy a good political cartoon, but I don't need to go to other countries for them. I don't really care what the UK or Australia or Germany thinks of us.

Well, they've already brought in Kumar to be the "gettin' high" czar, so Shatner would fit right in.
